    • JOH CH14: Possession Cover
      by — Su Yiran’s livestream went pretty well today. Apple Live's first major promotion for newly signed streamers was deployed across both the website and app simultaneously, and the traffic boost was undeniably powerful. Just moments after he went live, tens of thousands of viewers flooded into his stream. Some were interested in the dessert mentioned in his title, some were curious about a new streamer, and some were just random passersby who clicked in by chance. A few left after a single glance,…
    • JOH CH15: Competing for Affection Cover
      by — Su Yiran’s collarbones were covered in kiss marks and bites from Gu Yuanting. His pale skin quickly turned red. The pain made him cry out involuntarily. When he caught a glimpse of blood welling up from Gu Yuanting’s right hand again, he panicked. He had no mind for intimacy at that moment. Struggling with his restrained hands, he tried to check: “Your hand… it’s bleeding!” A loud clap of thunder rang out, followed by a long rumble. The steady rain turned into a torrential downpour, pounding…
    • JOH CH16: Dog Food Cover
      by — It kept raining. After a sudden downpour on Monday, the rain hadn’t stopped. Now it was Friday, and the drizzle was still falling, light and steady. Business at Su Yiran’s shop had been affected by the weather. Lunch and dinner time were still decent, but afternoons were quieter, with only a handful of customers here and there. But there were upsides to slower days. Su Yiran listened to the sound of rain outside, dropped some goji berries into his cup, poured in hot water, and placed the lid…
    • JOH CH17: The Treasure of the Store Cover
      by — It was already past 4 p.m., and the light rain outside was still drizzling. The last two or three customers had left the store, and Su Yiran walked over to Gu Yuanting, watching him work on his wood carving. “How’s it coming along?” Gu Yuanting stiffened. “…It’s not done yet.” Su Yiran saw him holding a carving knife, measuring and marking the wood, seemingly preparing to do the final hollowing-out. “Hollow carving is really hard. Half of what I made looks really stiff. I think it’s…
    • JOH CH18: Toothache Cover
      by — On the way home, Su Yiran sneakily ate several more pieces of candy. Absolutely delightful. When they got home, the two of them began preparing dinner together in the kitchen. Tonight’s menu included fish-flavored eggplant, steamed fish, stir-fried eggs with chili peppers, and fish head soup. Su Yiran started by frying the eggplant until the outside was crispy and the inside tender. Once done, he scooped them out to set aside. Then he stir-fried minced meat, heating oil in the pan, and added…
    • JOH CH19: Pampered Cover
      by — Su Yiran lay curled up in the blanket, teary-eyed, holding his cheek in a half-hearted attempt to soothe the pain without touching it. His mind was a blurry mess. Dizzy and in pain, he also felt incredibly embarrassed. How humiliating—to be a grown adult, yet end up in the hospital in the middle of the night because he’d eaten too much candy and got a toothache. He had really crashed and burned this time… sob sob sob… Gu Yuanting drove at full speed to a top-rated dental hospital in City A.…
    • JOH CH20: An Unimportant Reason Cover
      by — Su Yiran didn’t notice Gu Yuanting’s small gesture as he went to get bowls for the congee. “The porridge is ready. Let’s eat.” Gu Yuanting took the bowl from his hands. “Go sit down.” Su Yiran obediently went to sit at the dining table. A moment later, Gu Yuanting came out with just one bowl of porridge. Su Yiran was surprised. “Why only one bowl?” Gu Yuanting stirred the porridge slowly with a spoon. “It’s still too hot.” He sat beside Su Yiran, scooped up a spoonful,…
    • CFFIL CH67 Cover
      by — The Great Ling was at war with the Northern Di. After losing dozens of border cities in a row, the emperor was forced to sue for peace, sending his seventh son to the Northern Di as a hostage. The carriage swayed all the way from the capital to the grasslands. Fang Chen had been crying the entire journey. It was his young attendant who finally persuaded him to stop, lest he cry his eyes out before even reaching the Northern Di. Fang Chen's mother had passed away long ago. He had been raised under the…
    • CFFIL CH68 Cover
      by — The commotion in the tent, after quieting down for a bit, started up again. Fang Chen wrapped himself in a blanket like a burrito, buried his head, and sobbed. It was too humiliating. He was a prince, after all, yet he had been held down and spanked. Just as Seth pulled him out to comfort him, the young man bit him on the neck. He said helplessly, "Go ahead and bite. It's good for you to vent your anger." The man's muscles were rock hard; he couldn't even make a dent. Fang Chen felt like crying…
    • CFFIL CH69 Cover
      by — The "Tower" has already sent the matching report. A compatibility of 99%. Marriage was already a done deal. Marrying the heir to the Bolton family—such a huge pie falling from the sky—was something his aunt and uncle would not refuse. Fang Chen sat on the edge of the bed in his room, dazed. Ever since his parents passed away, he had lived with his aunt's family. Although they weren't particularly good to him, they had indeed raised him to this age. The matter of marriage was something Fang…
